That's the famous "Fight Theme" from Star Trek (the classic series). Also, the two weapons that Fry doesn't pick are a "lirpa" and an "ahn-woon", Vulcan weapons that appeared in the classic episode, "Amok Time". In fact, a lot of the plot from the episode (alien goes into mating frenzy, must return to homeworld for mating, forced to fight his friend to the death) was stolen from that epsiode.

Okay, now that I've proven myself an utter geek, I bid you... good day.

It could be just me, but I have vague memories of that music cropping up in an episode of the Simpsons too! Or possibly another episode of futurama....but then I'm becoming a bit "Farnsworth" lately too!

"I'll wager fifty Quatloos on the newcomer". It's from the classic Trek episode "The Gamesters of Triskellion", in which Kirk and crew are captured by alien gamblers and forced to compete as gladiators for their amusement.

That music has been spoofed on alot of things... Also about geekosity... We have this little kid at my school who always walks around with a little star trek... whatever it is called... the little things they wear... they talk to the ship with it (in the next generation on atleast) and you just wanna go POW... um... anyways...

Traced the cord back to the wall. No wonder, It was never plugged in at all.
